Compared to "I am Legend", Sundered will take you into the dark realms of an apocalypse, with a new breed of zombie that will have your heart pounding, your palms sweaty and the pages flying. A Novella with true bite.


TheSpanish Inquisition: Shannon Mayer on the Chopping Block Name -Shannon Jerene (yes that's right) Mayer Age -32 AstrologicalSign -Gemini Status -Married,no kids Bookscurrently available - Sundered, Bound, Dauntless (Books 1-3 ofA Zombie-ish Apocalypse) and my most recent book is Dark Waters: Celtic LegacyBook 1
Whatis your favourite book you've written? Now that's not fair, you aren't supposed to play favouriteswith your "babies".  Okay, I'll try.Sundered was my first Indie Book so it holds a special place and to write alove story in the middle of a zombie-ish apocalypse was a BLAST. But, DarkWaters is special too. It was a lot harder for me to write in that I had topull on my experiences with almost losing my little sister to drugs and thestreet, so the emotions in that book are super close to my heart. Dang, I don'tthink I can pick one, maybe down the line, but right now, they all are soimportant to me in different ways. Wasyour family supportive of you and your writing?
 Yes and no. Myhusband, he was the one who encouraged me to follow my dreams. He pushed mepretty hard and I fought him at first, my own stupid stubborn nature, but Ithink I was afraid that in writing, putting myself out there, people wouldjudge me. Which of course they do whether they read something you write or not.I got over that, eventually. The rest of my family, it was a split, about halfwere super encouraging, and half didn't really think there was much to thewriting. By that I mean they thought it was just a hobby, that it could neverbe a career. But when Sundered was released (and now it has over 50 reviewswith a 4.7 average) I think they saw that perhaps there was enough talent in meto actually make it as a writer and they've all come around. What'sthe best compliment on your writing?
LOL. Not including some of my reviews (which a couple mademe laugh till I was crying) my favourite compliment was "I hate to say this,but it was a hell of a lot better than I expected. I was shocked."  That was a neighbour, he then went on to readthe next two books, couldn't get enough after that, but it was one of thosecompliments that I knew was honest, which I loved.
Isthere one thing you would change so far in your writing journey?
Well, I would say that I have learned so much, that I justwish I could go back and apply it from the beginning. Like understanding how toget the best cover art, when to release your book (or better yet when NOT to!)finding the best editors, proofreaders and beta readers.
Whatare you reading right now?
 I have a couple ofbooks on the go right now. "The Corridors of the Dead" By Jonathan Allen, "SHE"by James Caterino and I just started Heather McCorkle's book "The Secret of SpruceKnoll: A Channeler Novel". Pieceof advice for authors or readers?
For authors I would say just keep at it and do your best tokeep up with the CONSTANTLY shifting industry. For readers? GO READ MY BOOKS (LOL) no really, there are a ton of greatIndie authors out there, don't turn your nose up at them, those gems will oneday be the authors you see on the bookstore shelves.
Feb 3rd & 4th Dark Waters and Sundered will be FREE! This opportunity to check outthese two amazing series for FREE won't come again, so get them while you can!
After a2 year period waiting on her agent to actually do something, Ms. Mayer droppedthe agent, and self published her first trilogy, A Zombie-ish Apocalypse whichincludes Sundered, Bound and Dauntless. Her latest book, Dark Waters: Celtic Legacy Book 1 centers on the bondsof sisters while delving into the world of nightmares and magic.
